What software is needed for ui design?

The UI design industry is both artistic and technical, and is very gender-friendly, which is welcomed by people of different genders. Friends who want to know the UI industry need to know the commonly used software for UI design. What software is used for UI design?

First of all, Photoshop

Photoshop is a picture editing and design software, and I believe everyone is familiar with it. Nowadays, not only the design industry, but also some non-design positions are more inclined to people who can use Photoshop when recruiting personnel, because many industries will use PS to simply change pictures, especially the new media industry. Then, of course, practitioners in the UI design industry must be more proficient in Photoshop in order to make better designs and get higher salaries. Photoshop is the basis of design. Whether it is UI design or graphic design, web design or e-commerce design, you need to skillfully use Photoshop. Photoshop can also be said to be the threshold of the design industry. Only by mastering it can we enter the UI design industry.

Second, the illustrator

Illustrator is vector graphics and illustration software. It is mainly used to make publicity materials with more pages, and can also complete some simple picture editing. Complex layer design will be completed in Photoshop first, and then imported into Illustrator for arrangement. It is a skill that senior UI designers need, and it is also a commonly used software in UI design.

Third, Indesign

Indesign is mainly used for typesetting books and handouts, and is often used by UI designers. Although you can't do much style design, typesetting is still relatively efficient.

Fourth, sketch.

The initial impression of this software may be just small enough and convenient enough. But if you use it more, you will find that its best feature is not that it has more functions than PS, but the operation and interaction mode designed for UI, which is very efficient to use.

PS can't do the best design for UI designers, because it has to consider the use of photographers. The operation/interaction mode of the basic tools of PS has never been specially designed for UI. That's how the sketch won.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) has no dividend (ex-dividend)

XD is mainly used for user experience design and prototype creation, and more for UI interaction design. It will be used in the design of some websites and app software. However, the level and configuration requirements of the system are higher.

Six, all kinds of hand-drawn software

Although some design software can also be hand-painted, it is not professional hand-painted software after all, and there are fewer kinds of brushes, which sometimes can't express the designer's ideas well, so designers prefer to use professional hand-painted software when painting. Which software to use is a matter of opinion. Designers will choose hand-drawn software according to their own feelings and habits.
